Nice crowd, not too crowded. Â The outdoor mist system is really nice. Â 4 long tables, 3 short tables, air hockey, and shuffle board. Â Big place. Â Definitely college crowd. Â Food is standard bar food.
The only thing that sucked was the bartender couldn't pour a Guinness right. . .other than that, everything was spot on.
Definitely not one of the best happy hours I've had unfortunately... =/
My co workers wanted to come here for happy hour since it's right down the street from our office. I never even knew it was here since  the location is not great at all. It is not close to the main intersection but close to the back street instead. When you first walk in, it's sooooo dark in there! I almost felt like I needed to turn on the flashlight on my phone to see. lol.
I think the happy hour drink specials were not that bad. $2.50 for wells and wine and certain beers. I got the Pinot Grigio wine. Obviously this place isn't a wine bar so it wasn't that great. We ordered some appetizers as well. The nachos were a fail. =/ It was that type of cheese that wasn't necessarily melted on there but just straight up dry and stuck together on the chips. The wings were ok as well. My co workers ordered the spicy ones. I'm a total wuss and can't handle spicy at all but these were actually not even spicy.
I guess this was an ok place to hang out. I like that they also have pool tables and air hockey to keep you occupied I guess while you're waiting for your food. Because our service was extremely slow. I probably won't be coming back unless the co workers wanted to or for some $2.50 drinks. =P
Love coming here! Great and cheap drinks, the bar and wait staff are always nice and helpful even when they're completely swamped. It's got a homey vibe. It's just a "comfortable" bar, that happens to also serve yummy and generously portioned food. You can tell it's an older bar by the dated and dark chairs and tables, but it works!
Review Source:Enjoyed this out-of-the-way place on a Sunday evening. Â Lots of TVs for watching your favorite games. Â Friendly environment with good beer prices and good wings. Â I had their hot wings, which weren't the hottest in the world but had good flavor. Â I also had the Philly cheese steak - which was awesome, but a bit messy, so be ready for that. Â Service was friendly and accommodating.
Review Source:This little hidden gem is a great place for lunch, after work, or late night.  Today we came for lunch and I ordered the Fish and Chips, and an Iced Tea.  Service was quick, food came out quick, and was  nice and hot.
The fish was a very light and flakey cod seasoned just right. Â The tarter sauce had a nice little tang to it. Â The chips "fries" were your typical shoe string variety.
Have two complaints, one is that the chairs at the bar are tables are a little uncomportable for us larger folks, and two, would like the lighting to be a little brighter. Â I know it's a bar, but this is lunch time, not after work bar time.
I can't say anything about the food since I've never been here when the kitchen's open. But their drink selections are good and they have cider on tap, which is pretty much the easiest way for a bar to win me over besides the quality of their mixed drinks.
Really, my only problem is that they close up the patio before they shut down inside so it's a pain in the ass if you've been outside the entire night.
This place is a dive bar that I enjoy. It does not look like much from the outside but you find that it is pretty spacious once you walk in. It has a nice variety for beers on tap as well as the spirits they carry. There bar food is not too shabby either. Better than the typical stuff I find around this area. They have around 10 pool tables which is nice because you do not have to worry about there not being an open table. Plus, they have UFC fights here so that is a major plus! And of course the icing on the cake is that they have multiple video 'game' concoles to play my two favorite games...photo hunt and sudoku!
Review Source:This is a nice neighborhood spot that you can go to for many things. Â If you're hungry, stop by for reasonably priced bar fare. Â The food is pretty good and the portions are definitely fillings.
If you want to hang with some friends and drink the night away, you can also do that too!
And finally, if you want to play some bar games, this place has tons and they are all in good condition.
My favorite, combine all three. Â Rent a pool table, order some food and drinks and you're good for hours! Â This place has been here forever and is a staple in the Tempe neighborhood.
I was not a fan of the dark atmosphere but the our server was very nice and helpful and she frequented our table; just enough but not too much. I really loved the hot wings grilled! I had never had them that way and they were wonderful! I definitely recommend this spot for Happy Hour!
Review Source:I came here on behalf on Fireball Whiskey to promote the product, but ended up staying and hanging out with a friend afterwards.
The bartenders were super nice. I got a blue moon and some chicken tenders. They were both pretty good. I remember the prices being pretty good.
There was a lot of different type of people here, but it had a good vibe. Everyone was having fun, and there were no creepers, or anything. Really down to earth. I felt like I could just sit, eat, and have some low key fun.
It's a pretty big place. There's a bar, tables for eating/drinking, and lots of pool tables/games like darts, video games, etc. Â
I'm moving really close to this place next month, so I can see my husband and I coming here a lot so get a couple beers and grab some grub!
I've gone here three times and each time with a different group. I have never ate here so I'm reviewing on games and booze.
First off, I think every time I've walked in the door I was greeted with two things - a bouncer checking IDs and a nice strong whiff of beer. Hello, if you didn't already know it... you're in a bar.
The place is kind of broken in to 3 parts - a bar, a restaurant, and a game room (billiards, ping-pong, darts, video games, air hockey, shuffleboard, etc.). I've played them all and I've enjoyed all the games. This is a pretty good place to just mess around with friends and BS and quite honestly this kind of reminds me of bars in Ohio where I'm from, albeit a bit more upscale since there is more. There is a lot of pool tables, so I would say that if you did have to wait, you wouldn't have to wait long. There is at least 4 tables.
I don't remember my bill total, but generally I get here and just play games or only have one drink. So I can't really even comment on the pricing.
I thoroughly enjoyed this place. We went on a Saturday night so it was bustling with young people. They have every fun bar game you could imagine: pool, darts, shuffle board, air hockey, karaoke, and more. They also have Shocktop on tap which is a win-win for me. Get a couple drinks in you and you are bound to have a blast here. I know I did.
Review Source:I wouldn't mind having this place as a corner bar. It has your typical bar games that drunks love such as small arcade games and lots of pool tables. Drinks are decent priced. Parking is decent. Food was decent. Smoking was out in a patio area...kinda small but effective for the smokers.
I wouldn't mind coming back, our waitress was a total sweetheart. :)
What can I say... I've been here enough times that I greet Cliff and Norm by name whenever I stop in anymore. Doc and Eddy's is what a neighborhood bar should be, complete with lots of parlor games: pool, darts, ping pong, shuffleboard, air hockey, basketball, golden tee, and I think there may even be a foosball table. And it's a good thing they keep the lights low, not only for all the TVs, but I'm sure the place has needed a renovation for at least the last ten years.
The one thing I could certainly do without is the evening bartender who won't let go of the fact that I'm a UA fan. Seriously, he gives me crap in a not quite joking enough manner for my comfort level. If I knew him better, it would be one thing, but I seriously made my friend pay with his AssU credit card last time, just so I wouldn't have to check my drinks for loogies. This is sad, given the fact that I've watched many UA games with fellow Wildcats in this bar, and I know the guy to be pretty decent when he doesn't recognize me as the UA fan he likes to harass.
Also, please note that the food has been less than good on the last couple of visits (stale bread, incorrect order, long wait, etc.). I recommend sticking with drinks here.
This is my favorite bar of all time. So, so much to say so I'll try and break it down into a few categories:
1. Price - Prices here are fantastic. There are random specials throughout the week, but almost everything is at a good price. Plus, they don't make drinks here like other places that pour a shot into a shot glass first to make sure you're not getting more than you paid for. You'll be pleasantly surprised. Bottles, pitchers, mixed drinks, etc are all pretty well priced.
2. Pool - there are probably 7-10 pool tables and are taken care of pretty well. I was more of a pingpong guy but that is no longer existent in Docs :( There are also a few video games that can be fun here and there.
3. TV's - There are TV's everywhere(inside and outside). They have all the sports packages so you can see any game you want. The only time they won't put a specific game on for you is if it's something crazy like Sunday during the NFL season when there are hundreds of people there.
4. Food - Pretty good bar food actually. I believe they won an award for best Sports Bar Food in Tempe in '08. I didn't have anything that left me unsatisfied. I think the kitchen closes at ten.
5. Layout - The bar is pretty fucking big which makes getting around quite comfortable even on busy nights. The outside patio area can get packed a bit but you can always go out front(without your drink) or go with the flow and enjoy yourself with the 3 tv's outside.
6. Staff - I love these people. I showed up to that bar the day after I turned 21. I left AZ at 24 and almost all of these guys I consider friends and hang out with them occasionally outside of Docs. BE NICE TO THE BARTENDERS AND WAITRESSES. There are always drunken shitheads that make everyone annoyed and the staff(believe it or not) are sober and therefore have much less patience than we do as consumers. If you treat the staff right, they will treat you right and the bar will most likely become your second home. Oh, and Beasly and Austin are HUGE Ohio State Buckeye fans. Mention that to them.
7. Atmosphere - Docs is the perfect place to go with a group of friends to simply get drunk and have some conversation. The Jukebox there is one of those online touch screen machines and you definitely won't see groups of people dancing with their shirts undone. There is always something to do there.
Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights are the most busy, but randomly the other days of week will have a good turn out too.
The ratio guys to girls is pretty even on the busy nights too which is nice. I met quite a few girls at that bar.
Then there are the event days - UFC fights are always a good turnout and are replayed later after 12 I think, NFL Sunday and MNF are crazy as hell and I advise to get there early or sleep with Austin to get a good spot, college football Saturday daytime is hit or miss but they will put on whatever game you want and I know they open up early for the Ohio State fans.
Conclusion - If you want to go out and get some drinks but don't want to have bad techno and auto-tune songs blasting you for 4 hours and overpaying or light drinks all after paying a 5 dollar cover and waiting in line... give Docs a try. Pool, arcade basketball, video games, quality drinks at good prices, very fast and knowledgeable staff, TV's everywhere, good crowds, the occasional appearance from Dane M., a wide range of good music, and the cutest bar tenders in town(Beasly, Tim, Austin - I'm talkin about you guys). I miss Docs and wish I lived next door to them again.
There were ample pool tables which was nice but the sitting tables were seriously garbage. The seating was horrible and I felt like I was gonna fall every second. Also they were unnecessarily close to eachother.
The prices were alright for bar food. Nothing too special on pitchers of beer.
The food was SO good. Like, I was really surprised. Usually bar food is only tolerable. (even at some of my favorite sports bars) Â But everything we ordered was extraordinary. It was restaurant quality and worth the price.
As for the atmosphere, it'll keep me from going here again. Absolutely FULL to the brim with college pukes. If you don't know what a college puke is, I suggest you walk around Mill Ave from 6pm-11pm. You'll soon find out. Not my thing, but some people might love it. (college pukes)
I guess I can't reiterate this enough, Doc and Eddy's is OK. Â I don't think it's as bad as Cat C. makes it out to be, but not nearly as great as Jared R. reviewed it - just OK. Â
Cheap beers, pitch black if you walk in from daytime. Â Grabbing a few pitchers won't set you back by much money, and there's tons of space if you have a larger group of friends. Â
What separates Doc and Eddy's? Â Table tennis! Â What a rare find. Â There are precious few bars that stray outside of the billiards mentality and D & E's is one of them. Â
Go by the current average of D & E's reviews and see just how...average it is.
Doc and Eddy's is okay. Nothing special, nothing great. Might be a decent place to meet with a larger group of people for some bar food and drinks. The place is huge. You won't feel cramped going here.
Towards the back, there are many pool tables and various games to play. There are more tables toward the front to eat. You can't go far without a TV in sight.
I had the SoCal Chicken Sandwich on a recent visit. The sandwich was okay, a bit dry. I did like the seasoning on my fries though. I think the food is decent for a bar. I was actually full from the food when I left. That doesn't happen often.
Service was okay. The service was just enough to keep you satisfied, but not great that you felt you needed to tip extremely well. My previous experience the service was well below average.
My draft beer was pretty flat with no foam. I'm glad it wasn't half foam, but maybe a bit? For a place that serves draft beer, this is BAD!
I can see myself going here from time to time, but mainly because it would be a few minute walk.
Doc and Eddy's. Â Hmm. Â It isn't my favorite place in the world, but I also wouldn't say I hate it. Â I've been here several times as the boy lives super close to it. Â The positive is that the crowd generally appears to be out of college AND there is lots to do. Â Tons of pool tables as well as several photo hunt machines! Â There is also one of those awful jukeboxes that will make you spend WAY too much money to hear what you want (my advice is to stay away and save your dolla bills for photo hunt and booze). Â
I have only ever had mozzarella sticks here, food wise and they were all I wanted them to be at that moment in time.
Many others have mentioned the service here. Â My advice is to go to the bar and not rely on the waitresses. Â They seem to take forever and you don't want to get parched!
Simply a-ok. Â Bring some friends and enjoy some pool and/or photo hunt.
My home away from home (too bad i can see it from my home and decide i need a vacation a bit too often). When it comes to a dive bar or UFC watching location this is my spot. I may come here a bit often considering one of the serves knows me, my group of friends, our regular drinks, our preferred seating for UFC and is willing to trade friendly insults back and forth.
The selection of beer has everything i need: Blue Moon and Kiltlifter on tap. The bar also has jager and redbull. At this point I don't need much additional info but you might so they do have the full compliment of other tap beer and some bottles that you would expect and is needed for a good night.
The feature pool tables, mini hoops, hunting video games, a jukebox and I think they still have the ping pong. For UFC good viewing seats are limited but i have found no reason not to show up 2-3 hours early start eating and drinking and avoid cover while getting the best seat in the house but that is me.
As for food they aren't the best bar food in town(see: baseline sportsbar) but they aren't going to make you regret ordering something with the expectation this is still a bar. I happen to like the sliders, guacamole, and chicken tenders.
Price is reasonable with different specials everyday but overall not bad.
It's 5 o'clock somewhere so head on over and grab a drink
Doc & Eddy's used to be a decent place to go. They have a weekly team trivia match on Thursday which my group of friends made a ritual out of. This all stopped after they had a staff change.
We used to have a friend that was a waitress who was more than helpful when it came to splitting checks, refilling drinks, etc. This all stopped when they hired a certain pony tailed douche bag. This guy looks like Tony Little's brother. He seemed to take over every shift on Thursday and didn't let us choose our server which was never an issue before. This guy was enough to drive our group away from D&E's. He was reluctant to split checks even if we asked prior to ordering. He would give us condescending responses and rude facial expressions. He also unnecessarily touches people on their shoulders which was pretty creepy.
Word to the wise: the food is your typical bar fare so if being harassed by your server is your type of fun then D&E's is right up your alley.
It is really, really hard to top Erica O.'s spot-on review of D&E. A good friend dragged me here one night three years ago playin' it up over their cheap Red Stripes (her drink of choice) and well drinks (vodka being my drink of choice; though preferably not well).
Anyway, I meet her and her BF at the time here at 9 on a Sat night. Man, was this place sort of depressing. Not much was going on, and lots of TVs were on everywhere displaying some white trash recreation (nascar? Ufc? Monster trucks? Who knows).
She did have one thing right - it's cheap, and you get what you pay for. Typical bar food (cheese sticks, fries, wings, burgers) is sub-par - though we totally lucked out recently with a Rocky Point-style taco special that was actually really, really good. They should put THAT on the menu. Â
The average patron appears to be of the fake ID variety to the pushing 35 variety. And invariably sporting a TAP OUT or Ed Hardy shirt. Despite the dilapidated décor, smelly bathrooms and cheap booze, I can't call this place a dive bar - it's just too big and has too many TVs to qualify. Speaking of the bathroom, I once overheard a conversation between two girls, one of which wanted to call some guy or another to "hang out" with after they left, the other of which was slurredly talking her out of it, at one point reminding her that the last time they hung out, he choked her. Awesome.
But I keep coming back because I can ride my bike here (I just can't typically ride it home from here).
Doc and Edwards has been a place of refuge for 5 years for me. Â Hell, most of my friends spent their 21st birthday there. Â It is hard to explain walking into a bar and just feeling at home. Â It is so comfortable and wide open. Â Even on the most crowded days, I feel like I am on the cast of cheers. Â The employees there are good and the food is exactly what you expect. Â You can also order silvermine there with no delivery charge! Â The pool table rates have gone up in the last few years but if you spend a good amount of money on drinks, they waive the pool table fee. Or you could go for some ping pong, foosball, UFC, or big buck hunting. Â It has a great juke box but watch out for the lady that throws 20 in and slangs the worst playlist I have ever heard. If my girl would only let me, I would have my wedding there.
Review Source:If you are a fan of good dive bars, look no further. Â Doc and Eddy's is more than just a dive bar and pool hall. Â It is full of atmosphere and diversity. Â I was first introduced to Doc and Eddy's in Cedar Rapids, Iowa and was instantly a fan. Â So, when I moved out to Phoenix, I was happy to see one. Â It is the sterotypical pool hall, from look to smell, and sometimes that is exactly the type of place I am in the mood for. Â And their food has just the right amount of grease. Â
To go along with the pool tables, there are a variety of video games and TVs. Â Not to mention this is a great place to people watch. Â It has a mix of Snotsdale, The Hills Have Eyes, Students and Middle aged people. Â Fridays and Saturdays get pretty busy.
This place is great for dinner out with the fam or a night out with friends. Â I love the food...except for maybe the chicken. Â Anytime I order the chicken it's always dry. Â But their classic club wrap and side salad are really good! Â The price for a pitcher of beer is hard to pass up! Â If you do come here late at night be prepared to be standing out on the patio..but inside is never crowded.
Review Source:Typical unpretentious dive bar where you can meet a friend after work, play pool, watch sports, whatever... Â There's a pretty big food menu too. Â I had the nachos once and they were quite filling and tasty. Â Nice happy hour specials also. Â I heard it was a place to watch Ohio State sports but it was pretty dead when I went there to watch a football game. Â However, it was kind of nice getting a prime spot in front of a huge tv and the service was really good.
Review Source:Went there for a NBA Playoff Game (Suns vs. Spurs) about a year ago. Â It was crowded and there were many drunk dirty boys trying to score - ewwe! Â It has the potential to be a nice little-hole-in-the-wall place, but as it stands currently-not so much. Â Would not recommend this place.
Review Source:In order to be a waitress at Doc & Eddys you need to have experience working with a magician because unless this place is really crowded, your waitress will disappear on you.
This place does a nice job accommodating people on NFL Sundays and the service is good considering the packed house. Go there for a baseball game or a hoops game and it's a different story.
Go get a table in the back near the pool tables and air hockey table and you may need binoculars to even spot a waitress.
Once I considered going outside to the dumpster to put my order in because I know that's where they take their smoke breaks.
D&E has decent food and a very good burger combo, but the place does toy with the menu a lot. The fries you liked last month may be different the next month and the wrap you had last month may be off the menu weeks later.
It's easy to get a pool table and harder to find a good seat during NFL Sunday.
Also, for a sports bar this place only respects football. It has the MLB package too, but at nighttime the place would rather have music blasting than have volume on for a game other than football.
Go during lunch time to get better service or on a weekend morning to catch baseball games starting at 10:00 PST. That's also a good time to get a "last night story" from your hung over waitress.
Doc & Eddys is a sports bar. Â I am a vegetarian. Â I am already skewed toward the negative here.
We went to Doc & Eddy's on a weeknight for a friend's birthday. Â The place was pretty much empty except for the career drinkers, a few of the left over ASU crowd (it was summertime), and a few scantily-clad women (overlap with the ASU crowd?)
My husband and I, clearly over 21, were carded on our way in. Â Not a problem for either of us, but we were the only people they carded the whole time we were there. Â How do I know this? Â The "bouncer" sat at the bar for the rest of the night. Â Did we give our information to some random person? Â Weird.
The service was pretty good, if maybe a little too comprehensive. Â The waitress actually came over to tell us when she was going to take a smoke break. Â TMI, really. Â We wouldn't have even noticed she was gone.
The food was good... my requisite grilled cheese was quality. Â It had parmesan on the outside of the bread, grilled on. Â This is a nice change and a good touch. Â
Doc & Eddy's has lots of pool tables and other fun things too.
So... when you are in the neighborhood, and don't have high expectations, D & E's might be just what you are looking for... or you could just go across the street to Whole Foods, pick up a pretty good bottle of wine, some awesome cheese, and crusty bread, and call it good.
I like this place a lot! I have lived in Arizona for a year and this is my most frequented bar/restaurant. They have cheap beer, and cheap, good food!
This is a great place to watch any sporting event. They also show UFC fights. Although you do have to pay a $5 door charge, which I have gotten over paying and make sure I go to the ATM on my way.
I am a firm believer in their wings. I love wings and am very picky about them. The wings are big, tasty, and cheap! They come with a good amount of carrots and celery too if that is your thing. My favorite flavors are the hot and the bourbon BBQ. The only other flavor I have had is the mild. While it was good, it was too tangy for me. I need more kick. The BBQ wings are delicious and messy. So be prepared! The service can at times be slow, but the place is sort of spread out so I let it slide.
I watched the last Lakes vs. Celtics game there and ordered the bourbon BBQ wings (dozen) and a couple beers. The wings were all drummers, which if you get wings a lot you know that this rarely happens! If you are into game Doc's has pool tables, ping pong, bar video games( silver strike, golden tee, some others).
I am very happy I found this place! It is a gem in my opinion. For me, it sets the bar for wings here in the valley! Check it out!
Yeah, it's got a lot of the obnoxious ASU crowd. But so does every other bar in Tempe, and at least there's not half-naked 18-year-olds dancing on tables here. When I come here with friends I avoid big game nights and usually hunker down at one of the tables in the sunken area near the front door - I find that usually shelters us from general bar idiocy, which is nice. They have pool, air hockey, and.... ping pong (which is TOTALLY irritating to pool players, I'm sure... but I don't really care).
I agree that the womens' bathroom is terrible (maybe they should put some AA info in the stalls for the girls who end up puking their guts out in there at 10 o'clock on a Wednesday night...) but I also agree that the food is surprisingly good, I had a pretty bitchin chicken philly here.
Doc & Eddy's is the crappy high school party for the non-high school crowd. It's uncomfortable and a little depressing, but if you repeat the ritual often enough it becomes a tolerable way to spend the evening. You just have to bring your own friends and take advantage of the cheap beer, because it's better with a buzz.
Don't believe me? Let's think back to the dusty basement/garage/rec room that you and all your buddies used to hang out in during high school. If you had friends with money there were ping pong tables, air hockey, pool tables or video games. Of if your friends were more like mine, a TV with rabbit ears. (Doc & Eddy's is the kid with all the cool shit you never had, even though you volunteered to use the pool table as a bed in between games to save space.)
Invariably the furniture had been cast off by surrounding rooms, relegating it to its current purgatory where collapsed cushions, cracked upholstery and wobbly tables may have mingled with bar stools and high tables, the occasional uncomfortable folding chair thrown in for the asshole that shows up unexpectedly and doesn't have anywhere to sit. Incandescent lights shone down on your little domestic beer swilling group and the walls were barren of adornment because you were too cheap to go buy some crap posters to put up over the yellowing wall paper, and mom didn't like nail holes in her dry wall. (Kinda crappy 70s seating. Nicely played, Doc.)
But you're pretty much the big shit because your parents are out of town, so you invite all your friends over and hope that some cool older kids come too. But that doesn't happen. (Cuz Eddy's at the bar acting like a skeeze.)
The creepy old dude that still likes hanging out with high school kids is staring down your cleavage chuckling with his douchewad buddies and declaring with aplomb, "Nice boobs!" The jocks are all playing beer pong or clustered around a TV yelling defensive plays at the screen, convinced that the more animated they get the more cred they'll earn with their meat head buddies. A gaggle of girls will descend upon the party later in the evening since they spent an hour getting their hair just right. They'll be wearing makeup that they applied more like spackle and dress in skin tight clothing that advertises every curve, muffin top and camel toe.
Someone will puke in the bathroom. Some other folks will get all surly and square off or shoot each other bitch eyes for the rest of the night. And you'll end up with something broken, adding to the overall depressing air of the dilapidated rec room.
But you'll do it all again next weekend.
That is Doc & Eddy's.
